DOING OUR PART IN DIFFICULT TIMES!

The uncertain economic environment coupled with the implementation of the GST, subsidy removal, and high

forex rates has had a severe impact on the overall economy. This tough operating environment has also

impacted the Group especially in our property business with buyers being more cautious in making large long

term purchases such as property. The economy is cyclical in nature and this trend should reverse with time,

however our property business will be affected during this down cycle. The high forex rates has also not

spared our Mechanical and Electrical business as most of our equipment are imported and this has also had a

severe impact with the forex depreciation of between 15 to 30% for most currencies. In these difficult times,

we will need to be more vigilant and efficient in our operations and expenditure!

LOH & LOH Constructions recently secured the RM106million Langat 2 Reservoir Phase 1. This reservoir

will have a capacity of 210Million Liters (ML) and will serve as the balancing reservoir for the Langat 2 Water

Treatment Plant. This will also be the largest reservoir in Malaysia upon completion. The addition of this

contract will further grow our outstanding construction order book to RM1.3billion. These outstanding

contracts place the group on a sound footing in these uncertain times!

The Group believes that we have a role to play as a corporate citizen especially in these trying times. Any help

given will go a long way to assist those needier than us, and ensure that they have a better life and contribute to

the future economic growth of the nation. As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, we

have recently donated RM150,000 to SJKC Kota Emerald (Rawang) Chinese school where our Rawang

development will be carried out, sponsored a 25 seater bus to Orphanage Ma’ahad Tahfiz Al-Quran &

Akademik Bakip, contributed for a table in the “Make a Wish” Foundation dinner for underprivileged children

as well as continuing with our LOH&LOH Scholarships! To-date, we are sponsoring 21 scholars and another

7 scholarships will be given out this year to add to a total of 28 scholars! I am sure all of us are proud that we

are part of an organisation that is doing its part as a corporate citizen!

It is already the end of October and only 2 more months until the end of the year. I am sure all of us are busy

rushing to meet our KPIs and conducting our staff assessments. For those still short on your KPIs, 2 more

months is not a lot of time but there is still some time to catch up with some lost ground. The Group will need

every one of our us to play our part in the difficult operating environment and contribute as much as possible

in this last and final quarter of 2015! When the going gets tough, the tough get going !

The festival of lights will be next month so I take this opportunity to wish all our Indian staff “Happy Diwali!”
